About Margaret Moran
Margaret Mary Moran is a former Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom. Moran was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Luton South from the 1997 general election to 2010. In November 2012, jurors at Southwark Crown Court ruled that she had falsified her parliamentary expenses; she had been unable to stand trial because of mental health issues, but the case was nevertheless heard without her. Her fraudulent claims totalled more than £53,000, the highest amount by any politician in the United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal. In 2010 it was reported by the Daily Telegraph that an IP address associated with the Parliamentary estate had been discovered attempting to remove information on Margaret Moran's role in the expenses scandal from her Wikipedia page. The MPs were secretly filmed discussing how they could assist the interests of a business which had been invented by the programme-makers. Moran became a member of the Hansard Society Commission on the Scrutiny of Parliament.
